How to Make Skirmish AI Less Aggressive Early Game?

[sallowconsent]

Hi everyone,

I’m fairly new to OpenRA and really enjoying it so far. Most of my time has been spent in skirmish matches while learning the basics, but I’m finding that the AI tends to attack very aggressively within the first 3–5 minutes, which can be a bit overwhelming.

Is there an option, setting, or perhaps a mod that makes the AI less rush-focused or more defensive and slower-paced? I’d like to have more time to build my base and economy before things get hectic.

I’m currently playing the Red Alert mod, in case that’s relevant.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Naval AI might be the least aggressive. It focuses quite a bit on building defense structures with no real land armies. You may want to build some anti-air though.

Hi,

Try fransbots from the modding forum. There are several bots/AI with different "aggressive levels".
